I have two ride on mowers.


But both machines do not allow you to dismount if the blades are
revolving.


Wow, what do they do to prevent you dismounting? I have a mental image of
a passenger restraint akin to those on roller coasters:-)




On one, the engine (including blades if engaged ) stops every time as you
dismount.
On the other, you can dismount without the engine stopping, provided you
have disengaged the blade drive.
Of course there is no restraint (yet !) - however the blades will not be
turning on either machine once the rider has completed the dismounting
process (:-)
